Thomas J. Galisin, PA-C

A Competent Caring Healthcare Provider

My compassion to help others and improve their quality of life was key to my entry into healthcare. As a physician assistant at Carolina Regional Orthopaedics, I work in a team approach with all the physicians meeting the orthopaedic healthcare needs of the nearby communities.  Having sustained a work related injury that left me with chronic pain was a life changing experience.  However, it allowed me to go back to school and reeducate myself as a physician assistant.  Now, I use my own life experience to help others recover from similar injuries. 

I believe in taking physical, emotional and spiritual approach in caring for patients.  Being a part of an orthopaedic surgical team gives me the opportunity to assist patients with a wide variety of orthopaedic problems.  I have special interest in treating patients with hip and knee problems.  My goal is to provide exceptional healthcare to all orthopaedic patients.
